What is it? What is it? It's a GIRL!
I'm now hoping for a healthy baby girl who's not a fussy eater. :)
The scan shows that our little girl is growing normally and is healthy. She was playing peek-a-boo with us during the scan and Huda enjoyed getting a sneak peak of her baby sister.
We asked Huda to suggest a few names for her sister, otherwise known as Baby Adik. These are her suggestions:
1. Lion
2. Rhino
3. Her grandfather’s name

Other W20-related stuff:
1. I'm feeling breathless a lot more frequently these days. Even after not-so-strenuous activities like scrubbing the toilet floor. (Seriously, not much effort is needed for that because out of all the house chores, scrubbing the toilet floor is the one thing that I do very, very regularly.)
2. The colostrum has started leaking. If this means that breastfeeding will be as easy this time round, then leak away! (Of course, nothing on the internet says that this is true. It's only a myth but it's a good myth.)
3. My placenta is low. According to the gynae, for 90% of pregnant women with low placenta, the placenta will move up as the baby grows bigger. But for the other 10%, the placenta will remain low til the end of the pregnancy so the baby has to exit via a C-section. The gynae told me to take some precautions; one of which is not to carry anything more than 10kg (that will be Huda). I've already done that since the beginning of this pregnancy. The problem of having a low-lying placenta is really nowhere near as bad as having intrauterine growth restriction, which was Huda's problem. As long as our little girl is healthy, I am happy.
4. Braxton-Hicks contractions have begun also, much to my annoyance. Is there a reason for these fake contractions? It hurts and it serves no purpose. Or does it?
5. I'm beginning to be able to take plain water more often these days. I better. The urine test shows that the glucose level in the urine is a +2. I don't exactly understand what that means but I know that it shows that there's some possibility of gestational diabetes. No!!! I'm already not eating all that much and I simply can't afford to watch my diet. The gynae told me to continue eating normally and see what the next test shows. If it's still positive, then she'll order a glucose test.
All righty. That's about it. I'm now entering Week 21. But I foresee that I'll be much too l/a/z/y to do updates. ;)

Wow! Congratulations for another lovely baby girl! Isn't it wonderful to have another girl? I mean there would be many pass-downs from Huda for her Adik. Or are you going to have a wardrobe revamp! I am so happy for you to read that the little one is growing healthy.
Please heed what the gynae says. No carrying of heavy things.
Hmmm...what should her name be? Are you going to carry on with the inital 'H'? If yes, 'Hannah'? Memandai-mandai jer aku.
Eh jgn lah malas nak blog. Blog la. Aku pon nak tau perkembangan kau dan baby kau.
Congratz Nad!!!! So happy for you.
Braxton-Hicks prepare you for the labour pains lah. Ok pe, rehearse siang2...hehe. But watever it is, do take care of yourself.
Another gallll! :)
Alamak Huda ni, tak agak2 seh kasi nama adik dia... hahaha!
that was my experience with ardi... my gynae gave me double dosage calcium and other stuff... bila dia keluar... leher punya kuat.. tegak sekali... tak lembik-lembik.. less than a week dah boleh angkat kepala sendiri... i dont know perhaps from the double dosage tak..?
sebab tu bila dia jatuh yang kemarin, gigi dia tak patah.. tapi termasuk..!! haha
No leh. We dont intend to restrict ourselves to H. We are going for short, simple-to-pronounce yet meaningful names. And, we have absolutely no idea what that name will be. Ideas? Ideas? Hannah maknanya apa?
And, there will be partial wardrobe revamp. Kalau tak, kesiyan si #2. She'll only wear hand-me-downs all her life.
Benda2 ni, tak payah rehearsal. Dah time, keluar aje.. :P
The latest name, courtesy of Huda, is Lobina - inspired by Ribena. *sigh*
why calcium, huh? calcium is to strengthen the bones, right?
anyway, memanglah, itulah agaknya kenapa gigi anak kau tak patah. kuat betul tulang-belulang dia eh.
lobina? huda dapat idea dari goody pack eh? hahah! anyways, congratz again! it's a GERL!!! BEST NYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Conrats Nad, Im having fun having 2 girls n im sure u will haf lots of fun dressing the same bajus. dat means double baju shopping take care :)
kau punya goody pack punya pasal la. hahaa.. and yes, girls are great! kalau aku ada anak lagi, is it too much to hope for another girl? heh heh heh..
hmm.. for now i'm not too keen on dressing them in the same outfit. (nak sep duwet..) but i may just have to eat my words later. cos with huda, i started off with a strictly-no-pink policy but now, almost all her clothes are pink.
Some of my student's here have the weirdest names, ranging from Nine to Ink, to the twins' names, one is Hugo, the other is Boss. Maybe you can name her Honda.
oh goodness!! hugo and boss??? euuwww!
honda for huda's sister? wahahaaa! thanks but no thanks, hor? :P
